10 Things All Of Us "Creatives" Know To Be True

Let's face it. Majoring in Art in college comes with the ball and chain stereotype that you're a weirdo. Regardless of whether we're a strange breed of human or not, all Art Majors have some commonly shared truths.

10 we all know to be way too true:

1. You spend more money on Art supplies a month than you do groceries.

Who needs food anyways? Van Gogh ate paint and he turned out.... okay?


2. You drink coffee. All day. Everyday.

And the one day you try to go without a cup you can't make a coherent sentence to save your life.


3. You're the go-to friend for all creative needs.

Because we have ALL the free time in the world and love working for free.

4. You always get left behind when you're out with friends because you don't just see things, you analyze.

"Oh my gosh. Look at that sign. It's beautiful. I have to take a picture."

5. You end up buying the most random things for projects.


YOU: "Yes, I need 10,000 bullets"

CAHSIER: "....."

YOU: ".. It's for an art project...."


6. You have tons of funny jokes, but only other art majors get them.



7. Any place is a good place to sleep.

Under and on top of desk, hallways, stairwells and even the occasional standing nap.


8. Creative epiphanies happen to you when you're inevitably in public and people just stare.

But, that's okay because genius doesn't happen everyday, am I right?


9. People think our course work is easy.

But have you every tried to write a 10 page paper on a single painting before?


10. We're the ones who understand the world around us in a way others can't.

But we wouldn't have it any other way.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
